another vcv rack creation. I ended up making some chord sounds I really liked, and decided to try and make something a little less in your face than normal. this time I took a different approach to the techmo machine and instead of starting from the idea of I'm going to manipulate these pieces live, I tried to make something that could play itself in an interesting way indefinitely. the goal was less control and more steering the chaos.
there isn't enough to make this actually interesting _forever_, but as a track, I think it's a decent success. I was able to use a clock divided up so it was only hitting on phrase changes to do things like swap drum patterns, randomly (with a very low % chance) trigger eq sweeps, and change the timing of different voices. there are 6 different clock variations and a number of voices are swapped between them at random, but musically logical times.
I think there's something worth exploring here with an even slower clock division to potentially swap voices after a given number of phrases to keep it interesting over a longer time. or possibly to do something to fundamentally swap how they're modulated/triggered to slowly morph the sound.
